Parametric assessment of concentrated photovoltaic parks for the Mediterranean region
(2013)
Solar electricity produced by concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) solar cells is an alternative renewable energy technology for sustainably providing the world's future energy requirements. Although the technology is relatively ...
Produced water treatment: Application of Air Gap Membrane Distillation
(2013-01)
Air Gap Membrane Distillation (AGMD) has been implemented to treat produced water. The permeate fluxes, rejection factor and energy consumption for three different membranes, TF200, TF450 and TF1000, with pore sizes of ...
Performance Evaluation of a Thermal Energy Storage
(2013-02)
The direct contact heat transfer technique gives better heat transfer rates. In this paper, the operation of a simple system was simulated under different operating conditions. During the charging mode of the operation, ...
Performance characteristics of an ammonia-water absorption heat pump system
(2013-11)
The influences of the performance parameters and the heat transfer characteristics of the absorption heat pump using ammonia-water mixture are theoretically carried out. There is a pronounced effect of the ammonia concentration ...
Determinants of Decision to Pay a Price Premium for Modified Food in Korea
(2013)
The knowledge of whether or not consumers are willing to pay a price premiums and the amount of the willingness to pay (WTP) when buying foods with more fiber, vitamins, protein, fat, and less saturated fat shapes food ...
Exergy and thermo-economic analysis of solar thermal cycles powered multi-stage flash desalination process
(2013-12)
Solar thermal power cycles assisted multi-stage flash brine recycle (MSF-BR) distillation process are thermo-economically analyzed and evaluated. In this work, the analyses are compared according to three different ...
Carbon dioxide adsorption in microwave-synthesized metal organic framework CPM-5: Equilibrium and kinetics study
(Elsevier, 2013-07)
The adsorption equilibrium and diffusion of CO2 in CPM-5 (crystalline porous materials) were experimentally studied using a volumetric approach at three different temperatures 273, 298, and 318 K and gas pressures up to ...
Experimental study of high-performance hybrid NF-MSF desalination pilot test unit driven by renewable energy
(2013-03)
This study presents the experimental results of a renewable energy (RE) driven, high-performance multi-stage flash (MSF) desalination unit integrated with nanofiltration (NF) membrane. The desalination pilot test is built ...
Improvement of greenhouse by reducing gas emissions using replacement policy
(2013-01)
This study aims to build a vehicle replacement model for air quality improvement by reducing the emission of greenhouse gases. The model based on linear programming with the objective to reduce the total cost considering ...
Efficiency of advanced wastewater treatment plant system and laboratory-scale micelle-clay filtration for the removal of ibuprofen residues.
(2013)
The efficiency of Al-Quds Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP), which includes sequential elements as activated sludge, ultrafiltration, activated carbon column and reverse osmosis, to remove spiked ibuprofen, a non steroid ...
